Vladana started her career in 2003 on a national karaoke show. Her song “Ostaćeš mi vječna ljubav” took part in the Budva Mediterrenean Festival. In 2005 and 2006 she took part in Montevizija, the Montenegrin national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest. She was not chosen in those days, but now it’s gonna be her turn in Turin!
